    Yeah, the whole “get people back in the office to help real estate prices” isn’t going to work either because it’s false demand. A new company starting up has no reason to buy the bags the companies that decided to get into business real estate are now holding unless they actually need the office space, which isn’t the case for most office jobs.

      The last four decades of public policy and industry are largely an exercise in creating false demand for things.

      Giant companies / industry will decide what happens, and they’ll use the government if need be to get whatever it is they want.
